Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Benzie County

this is a super cute little place. Absolutely perfect for our family of 4 with 2 young kids.

We had a fantastic stay! The location couldn’t have been better – just a short walk to great restaurants, shops, and the beach. It made exploring the area, super convenient and enjoyable. The place was clean, comfortable and exactly as described.

We rented this for a winter getaway. The home was lovely and our family of 8 had a wonderful time. Playing ping-pong and other games, enjoying the fire place and having plenty of space to cook and enjoy meals together were some of our favorite inside activities. Being so close to trails meant we found lots of opportunities to be outside, too. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

This rental was perfect for a large family to stay, as it sleeps 12 (including futon and couch). It was perfect for our large group attending graduation from Interlochen Arts Academy which is just 14 minutes away. The kitchen was well appointed and the house was light filled and comfortable. The views of the horses was my favorite part. The front porch was peaceful and we had an amazing time. Fire pit was nice, but we didn’t use it. Plenty of parking available. This is a great place, as long as you realize you are far from any major towns (30 mins to Traverse City). It was peaceful, clean, and perfect for us!

This was the perfect stay for a family weekend up north! Loved how peaceful the area was, yet still an easy distance to Traverse City for food/activities. We also loved all the games and puzzles in the cabin! Thank you for a fantastic stay!

We stayed during the holidays for a winter getaway. This place had everything we needed and more. It was easy to find and park. The house was cozy and had all the kitchen and bathroom amenities. It's also right next to a great restaurant and coffee shop. It was a quick drive to Crystal Mountain and to Point Betsie Lighthouse. Deirdre was a proactive and responsive host, providing all the necessary details for a great stay, including lots of recommendations for food, drinks and activities.

We had a wonderful stay. This house was well equipped in the kitchen, baths and bedrooms with quality, newer, matching pans/utensils, towels and bedding. Plenty of paper products as well. Lots of space for 7 adults, including a very comfortable living room (2nd on lower level) and beautiful deck with plenty of seating and even a Solo wood stove!

We were very happy with our stay! Very clean and comfortable. The kitchen and TV areas were perfect for our group of 4. Chaunseen responded quickly to questions. Thank you for an affordable place that was easy to get to from Crystal Mountain. We hope to be back again next winter!

We had a great stay here! Location is convenient and beautiful and apartment was clean and comfortable. Price was extremely reasonable the hosts were accommodating and very quick to respond. Highly recommend!

2nd stay at this location, and was as satisfied as first time. Will definitely stay again, if my travel schedule, matches this unit’s availability Thanks Matt & Becky

We were very happy with our stay and will definitely visit again!

Booked this AirBnB for a weekend ski trip up north. The check-in was very flexible which was nice because we wanted to ski on check in day. The house was very cozy and inviting. Very clean and taken care of. It offered a lot more room than I expected. The hot tub was spectacular, very hot and the jets are wonderful. Check out was super accommodating as well and the host was very responsive to questions. Only trouble we had was that the furnace has some trouble keeping the house warm during a blizzard. Having the garage was super nice during the blizzard though. It seemed like during our stay most of the neighborhood wasn’t there so it was very quiet and peaceful. Seems like a neighborhood with a lot of summer homes. If you’re going in the winter be sure to take a car with AWD because the roads were pretty difficult to drive on in my tiny sedan. Not the BnB’s fault, but just a warning.

Clean and comfortable. Perfect for two if planning to only sleep there.. Bed was comfortable. Close to bike path and town of Frankfort. Walked to both The burger Bar and the Cabbage Shed. Really enjoyed a craft cocktail at Furnace Street Distillery.

Great stay. We really enjoyed ourselves and Ireland was a great host.

Jean's place is exactly as described. Very, very clean and she is very helpful and responsive. I will suggest that you bring extra bath towels for a longer stay. We were there for a week, there were 4 of us, myself and my 3 kids. There were 4 bath towels and 1 bathroom hand towel. There are no toiletries provided which is ok because we brought our own, but this is good to know ahead of time. The Airbnb is a lower level space in their home and you can hear everything that goes on above. I am a very light sleeper and I don't mind getting up early so it was ok for me but it's good to know in advance that you may be woken up by movement upstairs or their dog. They are pretty quiet but I am a very light sleeper and could hear the dog every morning. Sunday was a bit early for me at 6:30am. None of this would deter us from staying with Jean again but is information that I think would be helpful to others before you stay. The location is great and right across the street from Crystal Lake!

This was our second stay at Ken and Rhonda’s. It is still as nice as we remembered. It was very clean- which is always appreciated. Our dogs loved laying outside and listening to the birds. Thank you for a peaceful place to stay up north!

Nice place with a comfortable setup. Came up to ride Crystal Mountain. It was walking distance to the ski lifts and the other properties surrounding the ski hill so that was nice. I would stay again.

Was so lucky to stay here for the Ironman 70.3. The apartment features floor to ceiling windows and a private balcony overlooking the lakeshore. Located directly on the beach and a short, easy walk to Main st and open space park. Apt is clean and comfortable.

This is our second time staying at this condo for a late season trip to Crystal. The location is perfect for a quick walk to Loki or Clipper. Also enjoyed being near the market and pizza place for an easy dinner the night we arrived. Would stay again!

Good location for downtown Frankfort! Very clean place.

This was our fifth time staying here. The location, watching the boats on Betsie Bay bring us back each year. The condo is very well maintained, Marc is very quick to respond

Great location right next to hole 9. Right across the street from the club house. You can easily walk to the bar or restaurant that’s a part of the resort. The porch is right on hole 9 so you can play golf and then watch others play into the hole from the porch. Couches were comfortable, beds were comfortable, we had no issues the entire stay.

Shoutout to Chelsea, Rachel, and the gentleman from reaccommodation services who, after we had an issue at our initial accommodation, helped us find a new spot promptly. They were super responsive and helpful throughout our stay. Excellent communication, lovely home, easily walkable to the lifts and Crystal amenities.

A Perfect Peaceful Getaway! Our stay at this property was absolutely wonderful. The location is prime—peaceful and beautifully maintained, making it ideal for a relaxing vacation. Whether you’re planning a family trip or a romantic couples’ golf retreat, this place checks all the boxes. The home was spotless upon arrival—clean, fresh, and clearly well taken care of. We felt comfortable and at ease right away. Everything we needed was within walking distance, including a nice pool and a fun play area for kids. The setting felt safe and quiet, yet still close to everything we needed. It was the perfect balance of relaxation and convenience. Highly recommend!
